Question

Why do people use diet coke with mentos instead of regular coke?

Answer 1

Diet coke is easier to clean up cause it's not sticky, plus it doesn't stain.

Answer 2

Because regular coke actually tastes good when you pour it in your mouth. Diet coke does not, so it has no other purpose.

Why use champagne when boxed wine will do?

Answer 3

Regular coke will do as well as Pepsi, Root Beer and Sprite.

Any carbonated sodas will do. From what I understand is:

"Carbon dioxide that has been compressed into the soda escapes so rapidly that the pressure pushes the soda out of the bottle.  It’s like shaking a bottle before you open it, but even more dramatic".

"When bubbles are released in your stomach, your stomach can expand a bit, and it also has ways of releasing excess pressure." Quote from: http://www.eepybird.com/index.html

Answer 4

It has to do with the aspartame in the Diet Coke.  Regular doesn't have it.  Coke will also have an eruption, just not as big.  And we're going for big here, right folks?
